Coos County, New Hampshire



 


Tree: New England Hall Families Master Tree

Notes: 1803-present. County seat is Lancaster

Coös County was separated from the northern part of Grafton County, New Hampshire and organized at Berlin[citation needed] December 24, 1803, although the county seat was later moved to Lancaster, with an additional shire town at Colebrook. The name Coös derives from the Algonquian word meaning "small pines".[5]

During the American Revolutionary War two units of troops of the Continental Army — Bedel's Regiment and Whitcomb's Rangers — were raised from the settlers of Coös. From the Treaty of Paris of 1783 until 1835 the boundaries in the northern tip of the county (and New Hampshire itself) were disputed with Lower Canada (which was soon to become part of the Province of Canada), and for some years residents of the area formed the independent Republic of Indian Stream.
